“There’s nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it’s been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, ‘Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach.’ It doesn’t say that anywhere. The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn’t like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn’t hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical.”

It’s truly astounding that Greg Gianforte, a New Jersey billionaire who used Montana as his personal summer vacation home for twenty years before moving here, is the candidate now telling everyday Montanans that they shouldn’t receive Social Security benefits because Paul Ryan and Noah say no to retirement security.

Is this real?

It’s unbelievable that this man is even running again after losing in the gubernatorial race but it looks like he’s more determined this time around to spend millions of his own dollars in an effort to buy Montana’s vote. Therefore, it’s imperative that Montanans remember a crucial detail about this repugnant GOP billionaire candidate: Gianforte is playing with our lives. He’s playing with our education, our success, with our dreams, with our hopes.

Gianforte is a Steve Bannon clone without the bad complexion. Clean up your act Mr. G. and come up with some plans that will actually make people’s lives better. I like nothing about you Mr. G and especially I do not like the fact that you claim to have been a Montanan for the last twenty years when the truth is you have been spending a couple of summer months here for the last twenty years and only now are spending a tiny bit more time here because you hope to pick up Montana’s only house seat.

No, we are not wondering Tin, we’re investigating, although you don’t appear to understand the difference. By the way, you meant “seen” not “see” and your last sentence makes no sense unless you meant “you’re” instead of “your” in which case it would explain your lack of rhetorical ability.

From what I understand, Greg made his billion from selling to Oracle, but never shared it with the 15 locals who helped him build that business. Those folks are still working while Greg gets to pretend he can be a politician. And I’m sorry, but not “believing” in evolution is like saying you don’t believe in gravity because that’s a theory after all too. What I gather about Greg is that if you don’t fit his religious ideal of how you should behave, then by golly, he should have the right to punish you. Everyone is entitled to their belief system, but to be in a position of power and make decisions based on those religious beliefs- smells like theocracy to me. Isn’t that what we rail against with those Middle Eastern Jihadists? No thanks Gianforte- you can go play with dinosaurs to your hearts content and maybe in 600 years you can work at running for political office again.

As a Lutheran, I’m not insulted as all and embrace science and religion together, and the Earth is billions of years old, as confirmed also by the scientists at the Vatican (yes, there are and the ‘top’ guy is Pope Francis, a man of SCIENCE himself) and that’s compelling enough for me. How can Gianforte EMBRACE Computer Science to make his fortune yet DENY proven climate scientists with years of research, data and technology? Would Gianforte deny his family the miracles of modern – SCIENTIFIC – medicine to cure sickness and illnesses in his own family?

Nope. The writers of the Old Testament didn’t talk about retirement programs of any kind. That came with Jesus, talking about caring for the elderly, infirm and marginalized. (Jesus didn’t have ANYTHING to say about LGBTQ, by the way). And the Bible doesn’t anywhere mention airplanes, space shuttles and computers. The Bible DOES prohibit eating of shellfish and swine. I wonder when Mr. G last had a dinner of lobster, crab, shrimp, ham, roast pork, BBQ ribs, etc.

If you are sooooo confident about how this article is so wrong post facts instead of trolling. Also why don’t you post your real name and not a piece of metal you are wearing for a hat! EVERY statement in this article is FACTUAL not fake news. That is the problem with trolls, you hide behind screen names and watch alt right FAKE NEWS and spew it out with no degree of backing it up with documented facts. Post your opinions with your name if you are going to try and discredit something written on this blog.

Looks like the trolls are busy. I wonder if they are getting some of that Dark Money to grease their palms. Several are doing Gianforte more harm then good. It’s crazy to preach to the choir when the choir is not likely to read Cowgirl.

Hey Tin, you got no Care? No Try?
Maybe time we say goodbye thin lie Tin.

Mr. Gianforte walks and talks discrimination.
Check out what he said and did Sunday to a newspaper reporter,
while Greg was stumping in front of American Conservatism
Christian group in Hamilton.
The story made top front page in the Missoulian.

@tin(foil hat) – Comments? OK, why don’t you offer something factual about the actual topic under discussion? Or is it just the case that you don’t have anything factual to offer so you just fall back on BS trolling? Typical trumpchump – all mouth and attitude, but short on truth.

Typical TIN HAT,
You are afraid for 5 or 6 people on the left? Funny considering most on the alt-right (YOU) are all about grabben ur gunz and shooten it up with the sissys! Plus you almost never see someone on the left attack someone but the same can not be said for the tin hats of this world. I would think I have way more to be afraid of on your side of the fence by posting my real name but then again it just goes to show you how big of P***** trolls like you are.
